Pacifist- a person who believes that war and violence are unjustifiable.
So semi-pacifist is a fairly hollow term. You believe violence is unjustifiable, except when it is justified. It doesn't actually help to define your beliefs and views, you have to explain that you think only self defense is ok when you use the term, so don't use the term and instead just explain your views. By labeling yourself as a semi-pacifist you are opening a door for people to make assumptions about your beliefs, based off their idea of what a pacifist is.
For example the talk about offensive self defense I would assume you wouldn't justify that due to being a pacifist. I mean how could you justify using violence against Japan before they actually attacked. Even if you are 99% sure they will I would think the semi pacifism in you to not attack first because if they hit that 1% chance that they wouldn't attack then you just created unnecessary unjustified violence.
However if you left off the pacifist part and said you don't like violence except for self defense it is much easier for me to believe that you would be okay with a first strike for self defense.
